Topband: Re: Open wire feeders

[Henry G. Elwell, Jr.]

I was pleased to see Craig, K1QX, and others refer to my October 1980, 
"Long transmission line for optimum antenna location."  I am still using 
my 4-wire lines, cross connected, to my two beams over 400 feet from the 
shack; now over 23 years in use.  I had not read my article in a long 
time, and surprised myself with its 8 1/4 pages in length.

	I still have about 75 of the 4-wire standoff insulators, which I would 
be willing to share with those really interested in building such a 
line.  They mount to a wooden post with a long lag bolt, which I do not 
have. The insulators were originally used at the RCA Riverhead, Long 
Island, NY installation, and were used extensively for their many antennas.
